Turn Waste Into Treasure: Pick Up Medusa In Suspended Animation At The Beginning

City Center Square.

This is a bustling area in Tian Du City.

Not only are there various shops selling goods, but there are also various stalls selling delicious monster meat snacks.

There is even a martial arts arena in the center of the square, where some martial artists can practice and spar.

In front of the arena in the center, there is a three-zhang tall notice monument, on which are posted some notices issued by the city lord's mansion.

Among them is one.

It is the city lord Murong Fu offering a large sum of money for help, promising one million spirit crystals and five high-level items to anyone who can cure Murong Bo or the city lord's daughter Murong Qingxue.

This notice was taken down by many people in the past few years, but after all those people failed, no one has touched this notice again.

"Found it, this is it..."

With Cailin, Xiao Chen arrived at the City Center Square and locked his gaze on the tall stone monument.

After a simple search, he took down that notice.

"Hiss, who is this kid?"

"Do you think you have the confidence to cure the old city lord Murong or the young lady?"

"How is that possible!"

"The conditions of the old city lord and Miss Murong are even beyond the ability of the Pill King Gu Qinghe."

"Just a little kid, how could he possibly solve it?!"

"This kid is in big trouble!"

"He took down this notice without the corresponding ability, but he is mocking the city lord's mansion!"

"In the past, there were many scammers who coveted the rewards and were crippled and thrown into the dungeon by the city lord Murong!"

Seeing Xiao Chen's actions, some martial artists passing by stopped in their tracks and looked at Xiao Chen with astonishment.

They couldn't help but whisper to each other, their eyes filled with ridicule and pity.

"What should I call you, sir?"

While everyone was discussing, the soldiers guarding the notice monument walked towards Xiao Chen with a serious expression.

They were the city guards of Tian Du City, usually responsible for guarding the notice to prevent intentional damage.

Of course, after a capable person took down this notice, they were also responsible for taking people to the city lord's mansion.

"My surname is Xiao..."

Seeing these two city guards, Xiao Chen had a good impression of them as they didn't immediately reprimand him.

He immediately bowed and reported his surname.

"Young Master Xiao, do you know the meaning of this notice?"

"The rewards on it are tempting, but if you don't have real skills, you might get into trouble."

One of the soldiers nodded and reminded in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter, just take us to the city lord's mansion..."

Xiao Chen waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

"In that case, the two of you can follow us."

Seeing Xiao Chen's confident appearance, Cailin, who was beside him, also exuded an extraordinary temperament.

After the two soldiers said a few words in a low voice, they led Xiao Chen and Cailin away from this place.

...

At the same time.

Inside the city lord's mansion in Tian Du City.

"City Lord, something bad happened!!"

"Miss has hanged herself again!!"

Murong Fu was sitting in his study when he heard this panicked shout, and he immediately rushed out of the study.

He directly sent the soldiers who wanted to report flying several zhang away.

"Qingxue!!"

In just a moment.

Murong Fu rushed into Murong Qingxue's boudoir, anxiously coming to her bedside.

There were two maids kneeling beside her, trembling uncontrollably.

But Murong Fu's attention was not on the maids, but on the figure lying on the bed.

It was a woman whose face couldn't be clearly seen.

No...

The woman in front of me may have some human-like features, but she resembles an uncivilized ape more!

Because of this person.

Not only does she have a red mark on her face, but also strange red hair grows all over her exposed skin.

Rather than calling her a human, it would be more accurate to say she is a monkey!

This is Mu Rong Fu's daughter, Mu Rong Qing Xue, who suffers from some kind of innate illness due to premature birth.

Before the age of ten, Mu Rong Qing Xue was not much different from ordinary people and was a delicate little girl.

But after turning ten.

Red spots suddenly appeared on Mu Rong Qing Xue's face, and her body hair became thicker and grew into a strange red color.

She has become the ape-like creature she is now, and many people consider her a strange and ominous freak!

In recent years, Mu Rong Fu has traveled far and wide, visiting countless experts and scholars, but none have been able to cure Mu Rong Qing Xue.

Because of her appearance as neither human nor ghost, Mu Rong Qing Xue has locked herself in her room for the past few years.

Not only does she spend her days crying, she has also attempted suicide more than once.

But due to close monitoring by her attendants, combined with her unique physical condition, she has not succeeded in any of her suicide attempts.

"Although her condition is a bit unstable, fortunately there is no immediate danger to her life..."

After a brief examination of Mu Rong Qing Xue's condition, Mu Rong Fu finally relaxed his worried heart.

"What happened?"

"Didn't I tell you two to keep an eye on Miss? How did she have the opportunity to hang herself again?"

Mu Rong Fu let go of Mu Rong Qing Xue's wrist and then turned around with a dark expression.

The room temperature dropped to freezing point due to the cold and murderous aura emanating from him.

"Qing Er (Hong Er) was negligent for a moment, please forgive me, Lord."

Upon hearing Mu Rong Fu's questioning, the two maidservants kept their heads down tightly, trembling more violently.

"Don't blame them..."

"I made an excuse to send them away. Getting angry at them won't help."

Just as Mu Rong Fu was about to speak, Mu Rong Qing Xue woke up and her ethereal voice echoed.

It is hard to imagine.

Such a pleasant voice, like the sound of a clear spring, coming from a girl covered in red hair.

"Qing Xue?"

Upon hearing these words, the dark expression on Mu Rong Fu's face disappeared, and he quickly turned to look at Mu Rong Qing Xue.

"If something is bothering you, tell Daddy... Daddy will definitely take care of it for you..."

"Daddy, let me quietly leave this world..."

Before Mu Rong Fu could finish his words, Mu Rong Qing Xue suddenly interrupted him.

"I am alive..."

"In the eyes of others, I am just a freak, causing Daddy to bear more burdens, causing me to suffer from controversy and torment."

"Daddy, I am tired of living..."

"Although suicide is a sign of weakness and escape, I really don't want to continue like this."

"Qing Xue misses her mother..."

"If there is a next life, Qing Xue will be Daddy's daughter again and will properly repay Daddy's kindness."

"But for now... please forgive Qing Xue's stubbornness, please let me leave this world."

After her despairing words, filled with a ethereal and pleasant tone, echoed in the room.

Mu Rong Fu's body suddenly trembled, an indescribable pain making him feel suffocated.

Even Qing Er and Hong Er, who were originally trembling on the ground.

After hearing Mu Rong Qing Xue's words, they forgot their fear of punishment and tears flowed uncontrollably.

As attendants of Mu Rong Qing Xue.

They knew very well that for her, being alive was more painful than death.

Today, when Mu Rong Qing Xue found an excuse to send them away, they could somewhat sense it.

But they still chose to leave, just to fulfill each other's wishes.

Perhaps death is the true liberation for Mu Rong Qing Xue.

"Xue Er, give Daddy three more days. Daddy has found a master who can cure your hidden illness."

"Daddy promises you that he will make you better, so... can you wait a little longer for Daddy?"

Looking at Mu Rong Qing Xue's pleading eyes, Mu Rong Fu suppressed the urge to cry and spoke with a pleading tone.

He knew very well the pain Mu Rong Qing Xue was going through, and he knew that being alive was a torment for her.

But Mu Rong Qing Xue was his biological daughter, the only product of his love with his wife. He couldn't bear to watch her commit suicide.
